Why Choose AfterPrint for Binding Materials?
Binding wires create wire-bound documents, which are a popular commercial bookbinding method. Wire binding involves punching holes into a document, then binding the document using a steel wire. Create desktop tent-style and wall hanging calendars, and more. Once applied, binds are robust – no matter whether you are using binding wires, coils, covers, or glues. The strength of the bind makes binding a popular choice for corporate settings and legal companies.

Additional Information

Coil Binds
Coil binding, also known as spiral binding, is a continuous PVC filament formed in the shape of a spring. This form of binding is one of the newest document binding techniques and offers a different option for many customers.
Coil binding or spiral binding is advantageous because the document, once bound, can lie completely flat. The coils are crush-resistant, which makes documents very durable. Further to this, the coils themselves can be reused over and over, and are also fully recyclable. Plastic coils are the ideal choice to minimise your environmental impact.
Binding Covers
Binding covers are specially designed to create a professional-looking bound document. We stock clear PVC, frosted polypropylene, and smooth gloss covers in varying sizes and thicknesses.
Binding covers are used for the production of wire, comb and coil-bound documents and create a professional quality finished product. Our binding covers are specially designed to be easily punched using a manual, electric or automated punching machine. The quality of our products is second to none, which can add both protection and value to any document.
Fastback Strips
Genuine Powis Parker Fastback Strips in both LX and SuperStrip formats. Fastback boasts the widest selection of colourful thermal binding strips, allowing your documents to stand out.
Each Fastback strip uses several formulated adhesives to optimise the strength, durability and hold of pages whilst still allowing the document to open flat. The unique thermoplastic adhesives penetrate between and into each page for the strongest bond possible.
Surebind & Velobind Strips
Surebind and Velobind strips are a popular way to securely bind documents up to 750 sheets and are most commonly used by legal companies. The bind is very secure, long-lasting and difficult to remove without special tools.
One of the advantages of this binding style is that you can use any size of binding strip for your document. If you only have a 75mm(3) strip available, you can still bind any document size up to 750 sheets. However, using a larger size strip incurs more cost, so it is advisable to use the correct sizes to match your document.
Binding Glue
Binding glues can be used across various book production applications. We offer the latest developments from Planatol & Henkel, as well as our own range of Jelly Glue for case-making applications.
